Choke cable

[Vandaman88]

Choke cable ripped out, is it bad not to fix?
anyone have an extra for an '82 fj40

I bought a universal choke cable at napa for $11. Works great. You have to cut it to length. Beats buying a used one or a stock if you can even find it.

If the choke breaker is functioning, nothing catastrophic - but if it isn't, then you're going to be running way rich after it warms up; fouling spark plugs and washing oil off of the cylinder walls. Why risk it?

Just ordered oem one for my 1980 fj40 from cruiserdan. Came with the knob and was about $60.

I did the universal cable thing as well and works great on my 73 F motor.I don't know what other "choke" features are on my motor.

I have a universal one and it works, but the handle is ugly. Wish I had an OEM one.

What's the difference on the 80 choke cable vs. the 82? Is there a ball stop on the end of the 80?

I cleaned up the end of the rod connected to the choke knob and had my neighbor TIG weld a piece of stainless filler rod on. Worked great!
